If a Christian feels that just discussing their thoughts is not enough, and they want to make their beliefs more public, they can form and organise protests. Often this includes sending writing letters to newspapers, MP’s and anyone else they think might help them to publicise their beliefs and put them into action. A more forceful approach of pretesting is to form marches and demonstrations, carrying placards to display their beliefs. Some even picket abortion clinics, pressurising patients into thinking again before they have an abortion, sometimes even scaring them away.
If someone wanted to help people who were looking to abortion as a last resort, they could support counselling organisations to help them, or even offer support to struggling families in the form of finance, child care, or even as foster parents for long term trouble. Or, they could offer advice to the person in need. If they have been through something similar and want to share their experiences to try and help, they would get in touch with people who are planning an abortion, and show them alternatives, such as adoption. Otherwise, they could try and prevent abortion form being needed, by educating children and even adults on appropriate contraception, to try and lower the number of accidental and unwanted pregnancies.
Whether their beliefs are for or against abortion, Christians might pray for guidance or to ask God for help for the woman or the foetus.
To purely publicise their beliefs, Christians often print pamphlets and leaflets to display their beliefs, but this costs money, so is relies upon donations or private financing. For this reason, these posters and suchlike are often produced by large organisations such as SPUC, where funding comes from donations from members and anonymous donations.
Because abortion is such a widespread and argued issue, it is very common that the subject appears in the media, whether in newspapers reporting a protest or suchlike, or in a woman’s magazine trying to publicise alternatives and educate women to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Articles in the newspaper, are usually written by objective reporters, who have no strong opinions on the subject, yet they still help anti-abortion supporters by publicising the matter, something that is one of the most effective ways of putting beliefs into action.
